    As just a mode in another game, the original Kirby Fighters was an interesting diversion. As a stand-alone title, Kirby Fighters 2 has to work a lot harder to pack a punch, even at $19.99. It’s curious, cute, and lacking much definition, just like its namesake character.

Online play is an excellent addition especially during current events with social distancing and all that.

    The entire story mode can be played with a friend but not a friend online for some reason?, like you went through the effort to add online, why not add it to the story mode? There's tons of battles in the story mode, I'd say around 100.

    There's still the series of 9 battles on a stopwatch but it can't be played with a friend sadly. I think a simple endless mode version of the story mode, chapter 4 is sort of that but I think an endless high score mode with all the powerups of the story would've bumped this up to a 9. All of these things would've been a bigger problem if playing multiplayer wasn't so damn fun.

    Wrestler is a welcome addition to the line of copy abilities, the new stages mostly come from the 3ds games, they haven't been upgraded a whole lot graphically but they're still really fun.

    I haven't got a chance to play with 3 friends but I imagine it'll be stupid chaotic and fun.

    Kirby Fighters 2 is a little barebones for a $20 game but you'll quickly forget it when plowing through the story mode with a buddy. This is the pinnacle of Kirby spinoffs on the Switch.    … Full Review »
